A Wonderful Friend and A Wonderful New Blog...

~Friends are like quilts, a great source of comfort~

When I first started blogging over 2 years ago, I just enjoyed all my favorite blogs, but never commented. I sent my very first email to Jodi of Pleasant Home on July 31, 2008 about her Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt. I looked back at an old email to check the date and I couldn't believe it's been 2 years. We became great friends even though we are 3000 miles apart. I'm on the east coast and she is in the northwest. We are far apart in miles, but we are close in friendship.

When I found out that Jodi was starting another wonderful blog, I just had to share. You all know from Jodi's home blog that her photography is unbelievable. I secretly envy her pictures!! Well, what better way to share her love of quilting and photography than with a blog of it's own.

    Thanks - I use the same method to make my flowers exactly but now I'm stuck. I need a tutorial on finishing once the flowers are made. Can anyone help?

    Karen, thanks so much for pointing us to Jodi's blog. That Grandmother's Flower Garden is really inspiring! I've been wanting to try hexies and that may just be what I'll do. I'm headed to her blogs now.
